About This Item

New York: Random House, 1955. Near Fine in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Full brick-red cloth. The spine is stamped in black and gilt. Black topstain. Octavo. 249pps. There is mild bumping to the spine-ends. Also, the endpapers are somewhat yellowed due to the acid content of the stock/jacket flaps. Otherwise excellent: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has a faintly-sunned spine and shallow chipping at the extremities; overall, the jacket is quite presentable. The original price (3.00) is intact on the front flap. The author's second book, SIGNED by him -- without further inscription -- on the half-title page. An excellent, collector's-quality copy. ".When Mike Morrison arrived in Greece in 1941, the German invaders were already on the verge of driving the British Empire troops into the sea. Still, Mike figured on settling his affairs quickly, without undue trouble. Suddenly he was caught up in a nightmarish web of intrigue and adventure. He was handed an envelope to deliver in London, on his way home to America. And the contents of that envelope seemed to be enormously important to such people as: Major Howe-Wilken of British Intelligence, who warned Mike to leave Athens; the stern Scotsman, Soutar, who saved his life; and Konrad Heilser, a lethal German agent who chased him all over Greece." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request.. SIGNED by the Author. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth.

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
